OUR TEMPLE OF LEARNING

Page 9 text:

 y G ore wore Confucius once said, He who most faithfully seeks wisdom, will most certainly find valuable gold. Wisdom has been an attribute of many ancient Chinese philosophers, and was held in high esteem by all the Chinese people Just as the ancient Chinese valued the culture and wisdom passed on to them by their philosophers and wise men, so we in Downers Grove High School value the knowledge we have received here For four years we have absorbed the teachings of our sages and have thus obtained a back- ground with which we can go out into the world with a feeling of confi- dence and ability We, too, as do the Chinese have high respect for knowl- edge Knowledge is not only of academic subjects, but it is also on understand- ing of character an understanding which is developed in extra-curricular activities. Why not let the ancient Chinese philosophers set a goal for us, a goal toward greater wisdom through learning and thought, a goal which will be worth striving for throughout our entire lives

CDeclic ation MR. E. L. PAINE In appreciation for his expert advice and generous con- tribution of time and effort, we, the 1948 Cauldron staff, dedicate this Cauldron to Edward L. Paine, our advisor. Beginning this year with nineteen inexperienced staff members and $36.48, Mr. Paine tutored and assisted until the Cauldrons were at last distributed. He has devoted much time and work to put out a top quality yearbook. Many other duties and interests keep Mr. Paine busy. For seven years he has been a mathematics instructor at Downers Grove High School and is now head of the mathe- matics department. He is interested in photography and spends a lot of time taking and developing pictures. The Cauldron staff is proud and pleased to know and have worked with Mr Paine, and we would like him to know that we appreciate his efforts
